Portland Timbers forward Jose Adolfo Valencia is scheduled to appear in the Beaverton Municipal Court on August 13 at 1 p.m.

Valencia has been charged with resisting arrest and interfering with a peace officer after an incident occurred between the player and authorities at his apartment on July 30.

Police were sent to the 3000 block of Northwest Allen Circle about 9:15 p.m. on July 30 after neighbors said they heard a man and woman yelling, said Officer Mike Rowe, Beaverton police public information officer. Officers said Valencia, 20, was attempting to get in his car, Rowe said. When they told him to stop, he refused, Rowe said. Valencia was taken to the Washington County Jail and was later released.

The Timbers say the incident stems from a misunderstanding that was exacerbated by a "language barrier." Valencia, who is from Colombia and in his first season with the Timbers, does not speak English.
